CD90 antibodies, human

CD90 is a 25–35 kD GPI-anchored protein of the Ig superfamily. It is expressed on neurons, small subsets of human fetal liver cells and thymocytes, cord blood, and bone marrow cells. CD90 is also expressed on a subset of CD34

primitive hematopoietic stem cells. CD90

CD34

+

cells characterize a highly enriched population of high proliferative potential colony-forming cells (HPP-CFC). Furthermore, CD90 expression is found on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). CD90 is involved in regulation of adhesion and signal transduction of T cells.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were stained with CD90 antibodies or with the corresponding isotype control antibodies (left peak) and analyzed by flow cytometry using the MACSQuant

®

Analyzer. The Tandem Signal Enhancer has been used to increase binding specificity of tandem-dye–conjugated antibodies. Cell debris and dead cells were excluded from the analysis based on scatter signals and propidium iodide fluorescence or 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) fluorescence, as in the case of tandem conjugates.
